Well I filed in Jan with turbo tax , called a few times was told do nothing but wait , got the under review letter wait … so I finally got a letter saying send in some stuff but I lost it , my daughter in law passed away , in the mean time I tried to call a few times .. finally got thro was then connected to the examantion dept she checked out a few things told me I had to verify my income and that my son lived with me he’s 23 .. I’ve filed the same way for yrs my income don’t change .. but I did as she said ….. BUT she told me they are so far behind that AFTER they get it that it’s be ATLEAST 6 months before someone would even look at it .. smh

@Nope At times they will claim its only business days that they count. (What a joke!). I called again just to make sure my referral went to the IV dept. last Friday and that someone didn’t “forget” yet again. So now I have another 59 Days to wait. They said if bye then, we still don’t have it, then they can forward me to a TA. As if a TA that answers to the IRS would change things! Only department that self polices itself!

@ Nope Nope Nope Call: 800-829-0582, Then pick #1 for English, then when asked, put in extension 652. Behold: you will still wait but get a live person. Be ready with all your info as they will ask the usual questions. My referral was sent last Friday to the IVO department, They have until October 10 now. Might also send a complaint into the Treasury Inspector General as that’s who the IRS answers too. Good luck!

Hey everyone. I’m in the same boat as a lot of you. Tax return accepted early April, received a letter to wait 60 days, heard/received nothing back so I called the IRS and was told to allow another 60 days, and lo and behold the second 60 days has come and gone with no refund and no communication from the IRS. I tried calling the IRS (~7:30am local time) using the same phone # I used a few months ago, but it seems like their menu has changed. I tried following the procedure given at this link (which totally worked for me before),

After everything I been through, my deadline once again was August 11th. Here we are, waiting to see if WMR updates as it’s stayed the same since march! If not then I call on Monday for all the same old shit. This time they were put in a whatever to release the funds. That takes ANOTHER 60 days to process! A huge bunch of shit!

@Shay…. I honestly feel the same way! I’m thinking it won’t be until next year I see my refund. After doing my second ID verify, I’m now told they didn’t send the referral to realease the funds! Duh! Now it’s sitting at the IV dept. Yet another stupid mistake and onto another 60 day hold. The IRS should be broken up completely. These folks could honestly care less if we ever get our refunds!

I am beginning to wonder who are the TA’s really working for. Is it the tax payers or the irs. Every time I receive a letter mine is telling me that he was unable to reach me by phone. The problem is I answer all of my calls. I give up at this point. I am starting to realize that I may never receive a refund this year.

I filed in february. By mid March I heard nothing so I called, she said I received a letter, I said no I did not, which is why I’m calling mam, her response was oh well within the next 8-10 I would receive a letter requesting to verify. I did. I complied. By 6/20 I was verified. Here is August and I have not heard a word yet again and my wmr says “still being processed”. Turbo tax is wanting their payment. I’m in serious need of a car because my son starts school this week and I have no transportation to comply with our school on required documentation/immunizations/ etc…etc…I mean why these folks playing with a single moms money.

@ All: Waiting since January, 45 day wait, then magically 60. Another 60 then ID verify in person, that didn’t count. ID over the phone, then another 9 weeks. Told if by then no refund, grab a TA then fight it. At this point I could honestly care less. Biggest unethical bunch of J-Asses I’ve ever spoken to. Something about all of this has to be against our laws but who to complain to?!? I’ll File in five months yet again, and still no damn answers or refund. I honestly quit at this point.

@ Craig, same thing I was thinking, how much this interest is costing! Last time I called, the guy said it was “only” week three out of nine. I reminded him that I’ve been waiting “Only” six damn months for my money! I honestly don’t see us getting anything until December, if at all. None of any of this makes any sense. Either there really short on money, they are trying to make themselves look good to the fed, there that damn stupid or all of the above.

I find it funny that the IRS can pay interest on all of the returns that are just sitting somewhere just to appease the FED. Maybe 10% of the flagged returns end up fraudulent and I might be exaggerating it. so imagine the IRS paying $100 on average to say one million returns. That’s $100,000,000…. I think the actual numbers are higher but still. If anyone is defrauding the government, it’s the FED.

@tammy yep’ these guys “working” our returns could care less. We filed in January, 45 day turned magically to 60 day, bad ID verify,another 60 days, then another ID Verify and another 9 weeks. Insanity! Welcome to the IRS, where no one cares that they owe you money, until you owe them. Then it’s days before they take it from you! Unreal!

I filed 1/26 and I was rejected on 1/29 U had to mail in return. They received my forms on 3/16 my bar moved and on 3/20 and said received and being processed…On 3/23/ I checked for update and it said that I was flagged for review..I send forms that they wanted and I have been in review since 2/17 and still no updayes…Sad

For those still waiting when the end finally comes – I received my return today (overnight on schedule with when my transcripts said it would). WMR didn’t update to show that the refund was sent. Probably won’t until this Saturday I feel.

Good luck to the rest of you waiting, hope you don’t have much longer!

When I initially called them back in May, the lady who put in a referral for my funds to be released said that the ID department would call me if they needed further verification. But they never did.

I even asked “well don’t you normally tell people that the IRS doesn’t call – it’s all via mail? Especially with fraud and scams running amock?” She said she knew it sounded weird. I’m kind of glad they never called because I don’t know if I would have felt calm giving that sort of sensitive data over the phone.

Not been here in few days. Frustrated. But as I see by all the comments and other posts absolutely nothing has changed for anyone. The folks losing their homes and cars should all file a class action lawsuit against the IRS.

I’m blessed enough not to have to rely on mine but I know plenty of folks that do. This is a horrible situation for many and I’m absolutely pissed off myself.

Anybody waiting on a call after both 60 days are up and whatbwas the outcome I filed and was accepted February 2nd they never sent out the verification letter I was told I was waitin on 2 months ago the rep told me she doesn’t even see it being sent out and now I’m just waitin on this call which hopefully is just a call to say they are releasing my damn money

I filed Feb 16 and was accepted same day. Then got the 60 review letter about 4 weeks after filing.. waited 60 days from the date on the letter which was March 26 called the irs because we haven’t received any info or $… the lady said she would put in a referral to release funds or notify and to give it 60 days… waited about 60 days then my husband called and the lady told him that she would put a note in our account and refer him to a t.a because we had already waited after the 60 day referral which breaks their promise or something so even though we don’t have a hardship we should qualify for a t.a. and to give it 5 days for the t.a. to call… guess who still don’t have our refund, a t.a. or any info… this lady right here… wmr and transcripts haven’t updated with anything either…

@Marty B, yep my brotah’ our 45 day with the phantom notice never received. Guess I’m stupid as I wasted more time today and called. My ID verification has been closed out, no new notices or codes added, dud said I’m in week 3of 9 now (I count it as week 4) but whatever. Much like yourself, I’ll be Christmas shopping bye the time I see anything!

I am so sorry you’re going through all that! What kind of stuff do they want you to send in to verify your income? I wonder if you’ll get a LTR12C too? I had to send in my W2, my spouse’s W2 and our 401k information. Hopefully it’s something easy like that?

My transcript updated today with an 846 code-my refund should be issued on 7/25 with $106.08 in interest.

Don’t know if all the stress and what if’s were only worth $100 some odd… but at least they’re doing right by tacking it on.

Just got off the phone with them. Stupid me. Although my letter said 45 day hold their computer said 60 day hold and the lady on the phone straight told me they’re gonna make me prove my self employment income. And even at that it’ll be ANOTHER 60 day hold. So I might get my refund to Christmas shop with, MAYBE.

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN SO ASS RAMMED!! I’m beyond pissed off!!!!!!!!!!! Ooooooh and she said they’d sent me a letter on June 11th placing my return on the 60 day hold and not just the 45 day hold btw. Such absolute horseshit!

I received a CP24 today in the mail (why is it that this week is the first week in a month that my USPS informed delivery hasn’t been delivered until after my mail has been collected from our mail box? 😂😂)

Anyway, as I suspected – they said that my return was adjusted due to my estimated tax payment, I should receive payment in the next 4-6 weeks. Lol, more waiting, but it appears my saga is nearly over.

My situation is supposed to be over today. It’s the 19th. My WMR never has updated or changed. I’ll let you all know when my mail runs, but at this point I’m in doubts myself. I hope you all get your refunds and this nightmare will be over for us all!

@Chris: don’t even waste your time calling the “Idiot call center”. There certainly instructed only, to ask you questions, put you on hold, only to get back to you to say that: A. You have the Phantom letter coming, B. Your under another 45-60 day wait or C. You have to ID Verify. Biggest bunch of Ashats’ ever hired, and instructed to give you zero info. The Ferderal reserve lit up the IRS over last years bogus returns. This year we’re all paying the price! And no one at that Ashat’ agency gives a Damn Crap!!!

I’m just keeping my fingers crossed that something happens on Saturday. My status has stayed firmly on the we have received your return and it is being processed for the past 2-3 weeks after being stuck on the still processing and a date will be provided when available status for months.

If nothing happens this weekend – I am thinking of calling them on Monday just to poke around and see what’s going on.

I think at this point lube is useless, weve all been taking the pounding for so long now that when i fart it sounds like blowing into an empty beer bottle.

Anyhow like everyone else on here i still dont have any update and i got the same “flagged for review” BS letter in the mail mo ths ago.. cant even remember when cuz its been so long. Oh well. Im sick of checking the app everydsy for an update but somehow I keep doing it. Clinging to an ikling of hope. Shits getting old real fast.

Spooky, I just think of my refund check was being mailed out my WMR would’ve updated by now with only 2 days left! I keep reading where the CP05 letter is just another stall tactic. After that many folks were on hold another 60 days or longer!! Just absolutely ridiculous!

@Marty B, someone on here updated last week on WMR, but I’ll be damned if mines been the same for over 5 months now. Your times up in two more days, rooting like hell for you and the others here! It’s horrible that there’s nothing anyone can do but hurry up and wait. I don’t even have it in me to call anymore, and of course they only use stall tactics, reverse what we were told last time, talk of phantom letters mailed etc. etc. Anything NOT TO DO THEIR DAMN JOB!
